Splendour In The Grass, a cornerstone of Australia's festival scene, has delivered a heartbreaking blow to music lovers by announcing the cancellation of its highly anticipated 2024 edition. The event, originally slated for July 19th to 21st at North Byron Parklands, will not take place due to unforeseen circumstances, leaving fans and artists alike devastated.

Jessica Ducrou and Paul Piticco, the Co-CEOs of Secret Sounds, expressed profound disappointment at having to make this difficult decision. With heavy hearts, they conveyed their regret over missing a year of what has been a community-driven festival for over two decades. The festival, known for its stellar lineups and vibrant atmosphere, was poised to deliver yet another unforgettable experience, boasting a diverse lineup of 101 artists, including headliners Kylie Minogue, Future, and Arcade Fire.

Ticket holders need not worry, as refunds will be processed automatically through Moshtix, easing the disappointment for those who had eagerly anticipated attending the festival. However, the cancellation has left a void in the hearts of fans and artists who were counting down the days until Splendour In The Grass 2024.

Interestingly, despite its reputation and legacy, the festival faced challenges with ticket sales this year. It was reported by a member of our Discord Community that Splendour In The Grass experienced one of its worst opening weekends for sales. Even with 3 Day GA Tickets priced $30 cheaper than the previous year at $399, the response fell short of expectations.

As Splendour In The Grass takes a pause in 2024, fans and industry insiders alike are left to ponder what the future holds for this beloved event. While the disappointment is palpable, there remains a glimmer of hope that the festival will return stronger than ever in the years to come, ready to once again unite music enthusiasts under the banner of Splendour In The Grass.
